Re: A moral dilemma for you?

[(Anonymous)]

"No judgement here. Mentally disabled people are usually capable of consent"

That depends entirely on what you mean by "capable of consent." Capable of having and wanting sex? Absolutely. Capable of wanting companionship and love? Of course. But so is an eleven year old. I hate to make the child comparison, but in the end, mentally retarded people are vulnerable, as are children, and extremely likely to be taken advantage of - basically, the chance of finding a normal-functioning person that pursues them sexually/romantically but isn't a horrible creep is... pretty low.

I saw this in real life through a mentally disabled relative. She had basic life skills where she could live with minimal supervision, but needed help with anything that required planning or consideration of consequences. She also had difficulty emotionally controlling herself, for example, would hit if angry. Some douchebag got her pregnant a few times, even "married her" for a brief period, then bailed. She can't even take care of children - she hits them, is incapable of parenting, etc. Kids were taken into foster care until Douchebag came back into the picture and claimed them, and for some horrible reason, won. He was caught a few years later luring a "teenage girl" on the Internet who was really a police officer, kids were again taken away... and again, he got them back.

Maybe that shouldn't be a judgment of all such relationships, but pardon me if I'm extremely skeptical of any normal functioning person's intentions who gets in a relationship with a mentally disabled person. I just don't believe most people are both that altruistic and in love.
